Hong Kong by night

The view over Central, Admiralty, Wan Chai and Causeway Bay from the sea front of Tsim Sha Tsui, during our last evening in China. Why should we start with the end of our trip? Well, we have to start with something... so why not a bit of night time magic!

Der Ausblick auf Central, Admiralty, Wan Chai und Causeway Bay vom Tsim-Sha-Tsui-Ufer aus, an unserem letzten Abend in China. Warum wir mit dem Ende unserer Reise anfangen? Na ja, irgendwo muß man ja anfangen... also warum nicht mit ein bißchen Nacht Romantik :)
